ALL TIME Cowboys team

What is it with the Henderson love? Guy got kicked off the team by Laundry for doing coke on the sidelines. Went to prison for sexual assault on two teenage girls. . . with a gun!

Guy has turned his life around and I am happy for him. But, . . .

Probably because he was the prototype linebacker... the dude RETURNED KICKOFFS. I mean... ... his athletic ability was unparalleled at the time, and if you're forming a team, Hollywood at his best is going to be the best player you've got on defense.

No problem here. Aikman as the backup (shudders) and Meredith playing the Drew Henson part. Can't imagine Meredith getting shipped off to play in NFL Europe.

RB Emmitt Smith

Yes, and we get to use Tony Dorsett as the 3rd down back.

FB Don Perkins

I take Moose here. He was a dominanting blocker. Just watched the 92 NFC Championship game against the Niners this past weekend for like the 100th time and Moose is dominating D-Linemen and punking out Romanowski all game long.

TE Jason Witten

Works for me.

WR Mike Irvin
WR Bob Hayes
WR Drew Pearson

A real nice combination. In his best years, Irvin was great at getting seperation deep and was a bit like T.O. in their style of play. Pearson was an all around good WR and Hayes was arguably the greatest deep threat every (1 TD per 5.2 catches) and is probably one of the top 5 fastest people to have ever inhabited this earth.

G John Niland

A bit before my time. I would've gone with Nate Newton who went to 6 Pro Bowls. Newtow was a pain though as every year he'd show up out of shape and slowly work his way back to form.

G Larry Allen

Yep, probably the best O-Lineman I've seen in the past 20 years. He'll get snubbed in the HOF while somebody like Matt Light will get in. :bang2:

Too Tall was great and all of that, but I'd take Haley who made life miserable for offenses.

LB Chuck Howley
LB Lee Roy Jordan
MLB Dat Ngyuen

It's amazing the lack of star MLB's this franchise has had. I thought Henderson was better and more effective. I like Dat, but there was too many times were he was a non-factor that was getting pushed around.

QB - Staubach (The Best Player in our history IMO)
RB - Emmitt (All Time leading rusher)
FB - Moose (Best blocking FB we ever had. Could catch the ball)
OT - Erik Williams (Most dominating RT I ever saw)
RG - Niland (Tom Landry said he was the best OG he ever coached)
C - Fitzgerald (More versitile then Step IMO. Smarter and Tech. Equivalent)
LG - Allen (Possibly top 5 OL all time. Best guard I've ever seen)
OT - Wright (Should be HOFer. Landry called him the best OL he's ever had)
WR - Irvin (Best all around WR our franchise has ever had)
WR - Hayes (He changed the way the game was played)
TE - Dupree (Best all around DE that played for any length of time for us)

OLB - Howely (Do it all LB and play maker)
OLB - Henderson (Close on longevity but he was just too talented)
MLB - Jordan (Tough, smart and agressive. Had to be MLB in the flex)
CB - Sanders (Again Longevity but again just too good)
CB - Renfro (This was the best CB we've ever had)
SS - Harris (very close between he and Woody but He was better IMO)
FS - Green (5 Pro Bowls and 4 All Pros. Boards was the best FS IMO)

RB Emmitt Smith

Yes, and we get to use Tony Dorsett as the 3rd down back.

..

I don't think Dorsett would be that good of a 3rd down back. He could run a good screen, but he wasn't much of a receiver. Emmitt was probably slightly better at it. Herschel Walker was a very good receiver out of the back field and could be lined up outside. I wouldn't really argue with Dorsett as the #1 or #2 back on the all time team. I just don't see him as the 3rd down specialist. It is great that the team has such good backs to even have an argument.

I would not be surprised if he was but I honestly can't say it with any personal knowledge. Of all the guys I've seen return, which goes back to around 70, Swinton was the best I've seen but I would be happy to make that change. Bob Hayes can not get enough respect IMO.

Whoa... now granted picking an RB for the Cowboys can certainly be subjective and a matter of preference, but Dorsett was a fine receiver.

He is an ok receiver. He was great at screens and that was the majority of his receptions. Ron Springs was better out of the backfield than Tony. Dorsett was a great back , but in the role of just 3rd down specialist, there are some better choices in Cowboys history. Just my very subjective opinion.
